and  overcoat  will  conform  to  those  of  medical  officers,  but  without 
the  shoulder  strap  or  other  insignia  of  rank.     The  collar  ornaments 
for  their  dress,  service,  and  white  uniforms  will  be  of  silver  instead 
of  gold  or  bronze,  the  silver  caduceus  being  superimposed  in  the 
center  by  a  monogram  of  gold  or  gilt,  bearing  the  letters  "D.  S." 
They  will  not  wear  the  letters  "U.  S."  on  the  collar. 

2.  ADDITIONAL  OFFICERS  will  wear  the  same  uniform  as 
other  officers  according  to  the  rules  set  forth  in  this  order.     For  the 
insignia  of  corps,  department,  or  arm  of  service  of  those  not  regu-

4.  ALTERATIONS,  FITTING  OF  UNIFORMS,  ETC.— Al- 
terations will  not  be  made  in  any  article  of  the  uniform  that

regulations;  nor  will  hooks  be  placed  on  the  front  of  the  coat 
below  the  buttons.    Company  commanders  will  exercise  personal 
supervision  over  the  fitting  of  the  uniforms  of  the  men  of  their 
companies,  and  permit  only  such  changes  as  will  insure  a  proper

which  are  not  contrary  to  the  provisions  of  this  order.  Such

will,  in  every  case,  be  prescribed  by  the  commanding  officer  in  ac- 
cordance with  the  provisions  of  this  order  (see  " Tables  of  Occa- 
sions," page  39,  and  "Evening  uniform,"  par.  17,  p.  8),  and 
whatever  the  dress  prescribed  may  be  there  must  be  uniformity. 


12 

(6)  When  a  social  function  of  a  general  nature  is  given  by  an 
individual  officer  in  his  quarters  or  elsewhere  on  the  post,  the  uni- 
form to  be  worn  will,  subject  to  the  approval  of  the  commanding 
officer,  be  indicated  by  the  officer  giving  the  entertainment.  The 
uniform  indicated  will  be  in  accordance  with  the  "Tables  of 
Occasions."

special  object  which  he  has  in  view.

SAME.

have  each  uniform  prescribed  by  them  in  accordance  with  the 
"Tables  of  Occasions,"  whether  or  not  such  officers  be  present  upon 
the  occasion  for  which  the  uniform  is  prescribed.  Commanding 
officers  will  inspect  and  verify  the  arms,  service  uniforms,  and 
field  equipments  of  officers  and  enlisted  men  as  often  as  they  may 
deem  necessary  to  assure  themselves  that  all  members  of  their 
commands  are  prepared  to  take  the  field  upon  short  notice,  fully 
equipped  and  uniformed,  as  prescribed  herein. 

37.  RECORD  OF  SIZES  OF  CLOTHING. 

(a)  A  record  will  be  kept  in  each  company,  troop,  battery,  and 
detachment  of  the  sizes  of  clothing  required  for  each  enlisted  man 
thereof  as  ascertained  by  actual  trial  of  the  various  articles  of  cloth- 
ing. A  sample  of  each  size  of  garment  used  at  the  post  will  be 
furnished  to  post  quartermasters  for  the  use  of  organization  com- 
manders in  "trying  on"  the  garments  until  a  satisfactory  fit  is 
secured  and  the  soldier's  record  is  correct.  This  record  will  be 
amended  from  time  to  time,  especially  in  the  case  of  young  soldiers, 
as  occasion  may  require.  Requisitions  will  conform  to  the  record 
of  sizes. 

When,  for  any  reason,  the  proper  sizes  can  not  be  obtained  by 
actual  trial,  the  tables  published  in  General  Orders,  No.  48,  War 
Department,  1911,  will  be  consulted  by  organization  commanders 
in  the  preparation  and  maintenance  of  the  soldier's  record,  which 
may  be  kept  conveniently  by  entering  the  name  of  each  man  and 
the  name  and  required  size  of  each  article  of  clothing  on  one  of 
the  individual  slips  of  the  clothing  requisition  blank,  and  then 


13 

binding  these  slips  to  Form  86,  Quartermaster's  Department,  suit- 
ably labeled  to  show  contents. 

(6)  Size  sticks  for  use  in  measuring  the  feet  of  enlisted  men  with 
a  view  to  determining  the  correct  sizes  of  shoes  required,  and  shoe 
stretchers  for  use  whenever  necessary  will  be  furnished  by  the 
Quartermaster's  Department  upon  duly  approved  requisitions  at 
the  rate  of  one  size  stick  and  two  shoe  stretchers  for  each  company

38.  RECRUITING  SERVICE.— Officers  and  enlisted  men  on 
duty  at  general  recruiting  stations  will  wear,  according  to  the 
season,  either  the  dress  or  the  white  uniform,  but  they  will  not 
wear  the  service  uniform.     This,  however,  is  not  to  be  construed 
so  as  to  prevent  such  officers  and  enlisted  men  from  wearing  olive 
drab  shirts  when  considered  necessary  by  the  recruiting  officer  in 
charge.     The  time  of  wearing  the  white  or  the  dress  uniform  will 
be  determined  for  each  recruiting  district  by  the  officer  in  charge 
of  the  district. 

Recruiting  officers  and  members  of  their  recruiting  parties  will 
be  in  uniform  when  on  duty  as  such. 

While  posted  at  the  main  entrance  of  recruiting  stations,  or  while 
on  duty  in  parks  and  squares,  or  on  other  duty  as  may  be  directed 
by  the  recruiting  officer  in  charge,  enlisted  men  will,  while  wearing 
the  dress  uniform,  wear  white  gloves  and  the  russet-leather  belt; 
if  wearing  the  white  uniform  they  will  wear  white  gloves  and  the 
white  web  belt  iseued  by  the  Ordnance  Department.

necessary  to  have  all  enlisted  men  on  pass  inspected  before  they 
leave  and  when  they  return  to  the  post.  Men  who  are  not  in  proper 
uniform  and  who  do  not  present  a  neat  appearance  will  not  be 
allowed  to  leave  the  limits  of  the  post,  and  men  who  return  in  an 
untidy  or  dirty  condition  will  be  disciplined.  This  will  also  apply 
to  enlisted  men  on  transports  in  foreign  or  home  ports. 

(6)  Organization  commanders  will  be  held  responsible  for  the 
appearance  of  their  men  in  garrison  and  on  pass,  and  they  will  do 
everything  possible  to  facilitate  the  proper  care,  cleaning,  and 
preservation  of  the  uniform,  encouraging  their  men  to  keep  their 
uniforms  clean  and  neat. 

(c)  All  officers  will  observe  the  appearance  of  enlisted  men  seen

active  list,  except  that  the  two  uniforms  shall  not  be  mixed  and

the  ribbons  so  as  to  exclude  the  ribbons  from  view.  If  the  ribbons 
are  not  sewed  on  the  coat  they  will  be  removed. 

With  the  special  evening-dress,  the  blue  mess  jacket  and  the  white 
mess  jacket,  ribbons  will  be  worn  on  the  left  breast  of  the  coat,  in  a 
horizontal  line  about  four  inches  below  the  middle  point  of  the  top 
of  shoulder,  the  ribbon  nearest  the  center  of  the  body  nearly  touch- 
ing the  edge  of  the  lapel.  If  necessary  to  have  more  than  one  line  of 
ribbons,  the  other  lines  will  be  placed  below  and  parallel  to  the 
first  line,  with  a  space  of  three-eighths  inch  between  lines,  the 
middle  of  each  line  being  in  the  middle  of  the  space  between  the 
edge  of  the  lapel  and  the  left  side  of  the  body.

of  barracks  after  retreat  by  enlisted  men  in  garrison,  unless  prescribed  by  the 
commanding  officer  for  some  particular  duty,  or  authorized  as  stated  in  note  3, 
below. 

2.  There  are  two  service  uniforms,  the  woolen  olive-drab  and  the  cotton  olive- 
drab.    The  woolen  olive-drab  uniform  will  be  prescribed  for  habitual  wear  when 
the  climate  or  weather  does  not  require  the  cotton  olive-drab. 

3.  The  cotton  olive-drab  will  be  prescribed  by  commanding  officers  for  soldiers 
on  pass  in  warm  weather  and  also  for  use  in  garrison  in  warm  weather  when  out 
of  barracks  after  retreat.    The  woolen  olive-drab  will  not  be  worn  by  soldiers  on 
pass  from  commands  supplied  with  the  dress  uniform. 

4.  When  under  arms,  every  enlisted  man  will  carry  the  arms  pertaining  to  his

5.  With  dismounted  service-uniform,  in  garrison  under  arms  and  when  changing 
station  by  rail  or  water,  noncommissioned  staff  officers  will  wear  belt  and  saber 
instead  of  belt  and  cartridge  box. 

6.  With  dismounted  service-uniform,  in  the  field,  noncommissioned  staff  officers 
will  carry  the  pistol  instead  of  the  saber. 

7.  The  service  cap  is  not  authorized  for  enlisted  men  in  the  Philippines;   the 
service  hat  will  be  worn  for  field  duty,  and  the  helmet  will  be  worn  at  other  times. 

8.  When  troops  are  traveling  by  rail,  the  train  commander  may  cause  the  arms 
and  equipments  not  required  for  the  necessary  guard  duty  en  route  to  be  properly 
secured  and  stored  in  a  property  or  baggage  car.    (Par.  246,  Field  Service  Regula-
